    Same, really don't see what the appeal is, right he had a very good punching power for such a small guy but overall his resume has NUTTING on Bob Fitzsimmons or McClarnin, sure I've brought it up before but I remember debating with a number of people on here who though that Wilde had an argument for being greater then / on the same level as Ezzard Charles, don't see it at all, silly over rated.
    I agree.

    Ezzard Charles wipes the floor with him.

    Then the windows and the table.

      No, it doesn't mean that at all. That's a pretty childish argument, Poet. They wasn't born there & they've never claimed to be German. Lewis was born in London, lived there til he was 12 & his brother & father stayed in London when his mum took him to Canada (a good choice on her part).

        Well, since where they do their fighting seems to be the end-all and be-all. Fitzsimmons was born in Cornwall and lived there until he was nine. Three years difference between him and Lennox BFD.

            Wait a minute. "No" doesn't cut it. Calzaghe is in the discussion. That ambidextrous alley cat is one of the best of all time. From any country.

              it's kind of his thing. in the ring it allows a man without much talent or the appearance of craft to the layman to win fights and survive a gauntlet of opponents unmatched by his contemporaries. he's won three world championships.
              i'm going to pick him against kessler.


              i cant tell you how many nsber's tried to convince me he was a great.
              some history sectioneers as well


              you take out lucian bute (just like the great liberado andrade,) and you gain his power
              it's like highlander.
              LOLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Carl "The Highlander Froch"!!!!
